Two Parallel Pathways Assign Opposing Odor Valences during Drosophila Memory Formation

Summary: During olfactory associative learning in Drosophila, odors activate specific subsets of intrinsic mushroom body (MB) neurons. Coincident exposure to either rewards or punishments is thought to activate extrinsic dopaminergic neurons, which modulate synaptic connections between odor-encoding...
